Winter Olympics: Russian athlete suspected of failing doping test

>inb4 all OARians are disqualified
Several Russian media outlets are reporting the OAR team has been notified of a "possible violation of the anti-doping rules" by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), but are waiting on the results of a B sample to confirm the breach.

I'm shocked

>No one will expect it a second time
big if true

inb4 OAOAR next Olympics

A jap was first to fail doping test though

Yeah but only the russians case will be made a big deal.

Why do you need doping in curling?

shhh russia is bad, goy

You don't. Or more accurately, you'd benefit far more from Adderal or something of that ilk than a cardiovascular drug.

I mean, unless you're so out of shape that you're getting seriously winded on the ice. But if that is the case, meldonium probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

>doping with curling

How desperate are they to smear Russia?

Besides speed skating, what winter sport would benefit from doping? You don't need big muscles to do any of these sports, except maybe hockey but being half a second slower than the guy on the other team isn't going to lose you a game.

Anybody who is caught doping needs to be banned for life from the Olympics and all of their previous medals stripped.

any of the skiing races and hockey

>Besides speed skating, what winter sport would benefit from doping?

also sports like cross country skiing and biathlon

alpine to some extent

oh yeah the flat ground skiing endurance races. So like half the events maybe?

almost all of them. people don't dope to build big muscles, usually, they use it to recover from injuries so they can train harder/more

>Hurr there are literally dozens of endurance based sports in these games
>How would doping help??

Are you fucking braindead or just baiting?

Ban the asthmatic Norweigans while you are at it
